I'll be there, at least for a little while.

 

[hungrychuck]

On foot, but will bring cash and whatever beer I can carry.

 

[JeremyCuse]

I will be there and will have either the Ant Bailey Grill or the newer Adam Harris, not sure yet.
Will also have a good size table and some food that I am still coordinating with my better half. Will have a cooler but probably wont have room so I wouldnt count it towards the group.

I know rules are made to be broken, but I hope everyone doesn't get there at 4 only to find they have to leave until 5. Taking the chance?

Well I figure Mark will be there first so maybe he can text a few of us Me, Mike, you etc to see where we are at or post it on the board if they are allowing him in. It all depends on who the parking attendant is, most are easy going so thats why I am not to concerned but your right theres no guarantee.

Not worried about the attendant because he likes us...we feed him. More worried about SU saying police will direct traffic before and after the game. I'll probably split the difference and get there at 430.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Not sure its the same guy this year, they have been changing up the attendants since Lax season.
I doubt the cops will be up there that early to direct they usually get there 2 hours before the game starts.

 

[TexanMark]

I'm just going off the Washington game experience in '07...they said the same type of thing. The lot was nearly empty an hour before the time they stated back then. I'm showing up at 4 and will work around any parked cars as best I can. I understand Thursday might be different than Friday was in '07 but I bet the lot is pretty empty.

I heard the Lot was resurfaced. Hopefully we still have some grass on the sides of the lot.

 

[sutomcat]

Mark, I will bring a small aluminum table and a cooler, filled with ice and soda. I am bringing three friends, all who will be eating and they all want to know, as I do, what we should bring. Anything specific you need?

 

[memcorsu]

I have never been to a tailgate at an SU game tailgate. I am a second season, season ticket holder and will be bringing a vet buddy to most of the games, so I am not sure how things are done up here in the North. I would love to possibly stop by and meet some of y'all "Fine" people in the Fine lot. Would "Finnies"work? If not this go around some time during the season. Should I wear a name tag or maybe an orange so that y'all know it's me? My parking pass is over at Manely so I would be trecking over.

 

[All4SU]

Di and may plan to be there if I can manuver the walker up the hill. I'll post tomorrow on what we can bring.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I can do potato chips. It's probably too warm for donuts (and we were 0-3 when I brought donuts last year).

Yes you can walk down from the Dome...just bring some beer if you like of throw a few bucks to the chef.

Maybe a bag of chips and a bag of pretzel rods along with a 6 pack of the beverage of your choice

Hope people like Blue Light.

[LeMoyneCuse]

I have to teach until 3:40 in Newhouse and don't plan on going back home before tailgating. Therefore, I'll bring cash.

Bring lots of it.

 

[JeremyCuse]

LOL. I am going to stop up there when I get out of work this afternoon and see what kind of shape the area is in. I hope its not as bad as it sounds with all of the construction.

 

[qdawgg]

Kills me I can't make this one, so excited for the season.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Sorry to hear you cant make it Q, sounds like we may have a pretty good turnout. Hopefully you can make the Rhode Island game.

 

[Pyle]

Sorry to say it but I dont think I'll be making the first one. When I told my kid we might be going he got a little sad. When I asked him what's wrong he told me he really enjoys playing football with me on the grass and running around up at skytop. I know time is short with the little one's so I'm going to enjoy Daddy time as much as possible while I can. I'll probably catch you guys for the board tailgate. Have fun at the fine mess and Go Cuse!

I didn't buy season tix this year but we were still planning to come to most of the games. The school I work at and the town was completely flooded so I'm going to be helping with the cleanup Thursday. If I lived closer I could hop in the car and make the game but I'll just be making it home to watch the game.
